🍕 A Strange Story: The Man Who Bought Pizza for 10,000 Bitcoins!
In 2010, when Bitcoin was almost unknown, an American programmer named
Laszlo Hanyecz decided to conduct a simple and strange experiment.
He posted an ad on a forum and said:
"I will pay 10,000 BTC for two pizzas."
Indeed, someone agreed, and two regular pizzas were purchased for 10,000 Bitcoins.
At that time:
The value of the transaction ≈ 40 dollars
No one could have imagined that Bitcoin would reach thousands of dollars
⏳ After years…
Those 10,000 BTC became worth:
More than 300 million dollars
And at market peaks: hundreds of millions
And thus, Laszlo entered history as the owner:
The most expensive pizza ever eaten in human history
And the strangest part?
Laszlo later stated that he does not regret it, because he was the first to prove that Bitcoin can be used as real money.
Today, this event is celebrated annually as:
🟠 Bitcoin Pizza Day — May 22
